Additional London note

We have had multiple chance experiences of good fortune. In London, we were inside Sir John Soans home, a place I had long wished to visit , and just after we left and sat for a few minutes on a brick wall, i heard an approaching roar, looked to the skies just in time to see The Red Arrows (UK version of Blue Angels) do a low flyover trailing red, white, and blue smoke across the sky over the treetops of the park across from us in honor of the olympic city selection; It was fabulous---they only did one flyover and we saw it ! The colors in the smoke trails lingered for some time, ( hung up in smog Id guess !, Sara thinks I am obsessed w/ air quality, but honestly my nose and throat burned in London)
